Hair removal

Advice on Feminine Hygiene You Didn't Know You Needed

There are various methods of hair removal. Waxing is a great method if you are up for it as over time the hair just stops growing back as much. Shaving is another great method, however never leave your razor in the shower it will rust. Instead keep the cap that comes on the blade put it back on after use and put the razor in a safe place (away from small hands). Never press down on the razor when shaving you'll cut yourself or break the razor. Gentle smooth movements of the blades work best. You don't have to buy shaving cream, you can also use coconut oil or just plain old soap lather.

You should always have some sort of lubrication when shaving. Never shave dry skin, it increases chances of ingrown hairs and razor burn. Exfoliate before shaving, this is the process of using some sort of medium to remove rough dead skin cells. I recommend using something that won't harm the planet when it goes down the drain, such as an exfoliant made of sand or sugar. However this is not necessary for you can also use a wash cloth to exfoliate your skin to save money.

After you finish any sort of hair removal remember to put on a soothing lotion. It will help with razor burn and keep the skin soft and moisturized. I also have tips for epilating however there are other topics I wish to touch on at the moment.

Vaginal health

A healthy vagina is acidic. A vagina is not meant to smell or taste like flowers or fruit. Vaginal discharge is a great way to tell the health of your vagina. Cleaning your vagina is unnecessary, you can use soap on the labia but don't use anything but water to actually clean the vaginal opening. Those soaps we all love actually throw off the ph balance of our vaginas. Trust me, your vagina will thank you.

Discoloration of the genital area is completely natural and there isn't much you can do for it. Semen and certain kinds of sex can also throw off that pH balance. Oral sex in particular (the other kind of sex I mentioned before) can actually increase chances of a yeast infection. So if you're feeling a little itchy after your friend has gone down on you, that could be a yeast infection. Another thing is that your diet effects the smell of our lady friend. Drink lots of water, the vagina is self cleaning and if you're dehydrated it can't do it as well.

Periods

I know ewww, why mother of God!!! However periods, when you think of it, are like a practice pregnancy. Your cramps (which we all loathe) are actually contractions. Those cramps that we hate so much actually help push the vaginal lining that we are shedding out of the body. Although for a select few (myself included) these cramps can be debilitating to the point that some can't even walk. Talk to your gynecologist, they should be able to prescribe medication to help.

Another reaction that is common among women is to get the shits when on your period. This is because the hormones released to make those cramps happen does the same to your bowels, making you poop a lot. Now some people do not know this however hang on to that wrapper your pads, tampons, or panty liners came in. After they are full remove it from your underwear and roll it up, next put it on the empty wrapper and roll it up, use that little left over piece of tape to tape it shut and dispose of it (same for panty liners) this is so whoever takes out the bathroom trash doesn't have to touch your bodily waste. For tampons, after inserting the tampons your left with the little plastic part, don't flush it. Put it back in the wrapper and dispose of it. You can also wrap used tampons or pads in toilet paper.

I am willing to include any other topics that people have interest in. I'm trying to help stop the misinformation that keeps going around. I already have plans to write about acne, and sex as well. I'm thoroughly annoyed by the misinformation I have seen recently. Be it the boy who tried to convince me to have anal sex with him because it isn't "real sex" or the girl I spoke to the other day about how white pride doesn't exist.

Please let me know if you have any requests on information and if you have any additional information you would like to share on this topic. I will be reading all comments on this post and if I see anything that is not true commented I will not only be contacting that person to tell them the facts but I will add on to here the accurate information.

  • Great MyTake!

  • Waxing isn’t worth it. It’s expensive compared to shaving. If you’re going to spend money on hair removal, go to a reputable laser hair removal medspa and at least get it removed permanently.

  • You forgot about the most hygienic hair removal : no removal at all. Hair has it purpose and if someone wants to remove it it's fine, her choice, but it is not the most hygienic choice

    • Yes, however I never once said that anyone had to do any of this. I myself perfer to shave I see absolutely no reason to have pubic hair.

  • Nice take
